HDB flat owners to receive GST Vouchers in April

HDB households with at least one Singaporean as the owner, occupier, or tenant of the HDB flat, and whose household members do not own more than one residential property will be eligible for GST Vouchers U-Save. 

Under the Budget 2022 Household Support Package (HSP), these HDB households will receive additional GSTV – U-Save rebates in April 2022, July 2022, and October 2022, and under the Assurance Package (AP) for GST from January 2023 until January 2026.

The U-Save rebates will be credited directly into your household’s utilities account managed by SP Services.

The GST Voucher – U-Save cannot be encashed because it is only meant to directly offset your HDB utility bill and not other expenses. Any unused U-Save rebates will be rolled over to help offset your household’s utility bills for the following months.

Approximately 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive their quarterly GST Voucher - U-Save and GSTV - Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in April.

The Ministry of Finance (MOF) aims to defray the GST and other living expenses for lower- to middle-income Singaporean households.

The Government will issue another set of $100 CDC vouchers to all Singaporean households this year. These vouchers will help all Singaporean households with their daily expenses, and can be used at hawker centres and participating heartland merchants such as confectionary shops and hair salons.

HDB flat owners may check their eligibility of the GSTV - S&CC rebate by logging into My HDBPage with their Singpass.
